it is very clear that M1 bend sharply in the first photo... (in the right wing). It seems it has no petiole.
The flash fade a lot the bent, though. Nevertheless there is a strong bend. Also check the second photo. The left wing shows also that bent! (not well visible but it is there!)
(also it miss 3 legs! Andrade is a torturer.)

Look at the very strong reclinate bristles. Doubt it is a muscid/anthomyiid.
It is really a very interesting species.
